Challenger I saw yesterday
« on: February 09, 2011 - 10:18:42 PM »
Very rust free. Looks like its been sitting there a long time.
I bet it ends up on the East coast or Europe in a few years.

That's where all the CA. Mopars are now. Because it's so expensive out here to live.

Do you know if it's for sale? Very nice car could be a great start!

So cool to see one that still has the flat hood.  :thumbsup:

Was it a 318 car or a 383 2 barrel?

I asked the guy there but the owner wasn't there. The guy asked me what do you think it's worth?

I said 10-12 since its a good solid project to start with. I remember where its at. This car was very well hidden. Looks like original paint on it.

Pretty sure it was a 318 but I never asked.

Speaking on behalf of the East coast we would gladly take it off your hands! Back off Europe we called dibs first!  :bigsmile:

If they all had stayed out here, Carlisle Mopar show wouldn't exist.  :lol:

Here's another doomed Mopar.

This one is right near me. It's been sitting there for about 17 years just like it is. I wished he would at least cover it up better.

Many a person has asked him if he will sell it and went home empty handed. I even offered to do the metal work and bodywork for a reasonable price. No seems to be his favorite word regarding this car.

I don't think it will be long before he must sell it. He's been in bad health the last time I spoke with him. But who knows...Only him and his beer.
